What should I set the temperature at in my condominium when I’m away?
During cold times whenever residents are away, it is required that the thermostat be set in the heating mode with the temperature at a minimum of 65 degrees. If the thermostat is set in the air-conditioning mode, the apartment will not be heated, and experience has shown that water lines are likely to freeze.
Should I "air out" my condo?
Hygienists recommend that homes be "aired out" on a regular basis to avoid the buildup of pollutants. This can be done by opening the hall door when it is extremely cold outside or by cracking open the sliding door or windows for a few minutes with the furnace or air conditioning fan turned on. This should be done whenever the apartment seems stuffy. It is particularly important that this be done during the air conditioning season so that there is not an excessive build-up of humidity.
How do visitors enter the buildings?
Visitors should contact residents through the entry access system at the ground-level lobby doors on Main Street, or through the entry access system at the P2 parking level. Pressing 9 on the resident’s telephone will grant access and open the doors for the main lobby entrance or the parking lobby entrance into the building.
Residents are responsible for persons they permit to enter the building. Residents should contact Building Management if someone who they do not know enters the building while they are entering.
How do I dispose of my trash?
Residents are responsible for the disposal of all trash and rubbish from their apartment to the collection points in each building. Collection points are located on each floor as well as the central collection point on P1.
All trash must be put in plastic bags of suitable size and tied at the top before being thrown away. Any wet garbage must be placed in double plastic bags before disposal. The garbage bags, when full, must be at least 10% smaller than the diameter of the trash chute.
No furniture, mattresses or vehicle parts are to be left in the trash or recycle areas unless they are fully enclosed within the applicable dumpster or container. Residents are responsible for the disposal of remodeling debris, rugs, furniture, appliances, Christmas trees and other large items. Such items or materials should not be placed in the dumpsters or other trash receptacles.
What is not permitted in the trash chute?

Can Building Management enter my condo?
Building Management and its duly authorized agents have the right to enter any and all of the apartments, limited common areas and storage units in cases of emergency originating in or threatening such apartments or any other part of the premises, whether or not the residents of the apartment are present at the time.
Keys to each apartment will be maintained and secured in a locked box in the building manager’s office. These keys will be used only when a resident is locked out, to allow authorized visitors access into a resident’s apartment, or if a threat of fire, water damage, or any other condition may adversely affect the common elements or other apartments. For non emergencies, authorized workers may enter an apartment only with permission of the resident or with 24-hours written notice.
No key may be removed from the locked box in the building manager’s office and used for entry, except for purposes noted above, without the consent of the resident. No entry shall be provided to any individual without positive identification being given to Building Management at the time of entry. The person must be listed as a resident, occupant or approved person to enter the apartment.
No resident may install locks in addition to the standard door locks.
Where do I park?
Residents will use the West Temple ramp or the 100 South ramp to enter the parking structure. Residents of the North Building will then proceed to the residential parking area on P3 of the Main Street Parking Garage. Residents of the South Building will proceed to the residential parking area of P4 of the City Creek West Parking Structure. Parking spaces in these areas are not assigned and are on a first-come-first-served basis.
Residents are issued one AVI card for each parking space by Building Management. Use of a parking space is at the sole risk of the resident. Building Management has no liability to the resident or any other person for any claims, damages or costs (including attorney’s fees) arising from damage, loss, theft of any vehicle or other property (including property of the resident), or injury to or death of any person (including the resident and the resident’s family, agents, employees, visitors, or licensees) arising indirectly out of or in any way in connection with the use of the parking space or any part of the parking garage by the resident or the resident’s family, agents, employees, visitors or licensees unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Building Management or its agents.
Caution should be used when entering and exiting the parking garage; there is a delay when the garage door opens and closes.
Only passenger cars, small trucks and motorcycles are to be parked in the parking spaces. No trailers, mobile homes, trucks over three quarters of a ton, boats, recreational vehicles, buses or commercial vehicles may be left in the parking space unless authorized in writing by Building Management. No motor vehicle, trailer or other vehicle belonging to a resident or guest shall be parked in a way that impedes or prevents ready access to any other resident’s parking space. Vehicles must be parked within the designated parking spaces. Vehicles parked outside the lines or occupying more than one space or blocking traffic will be subject to towing at the resident’s expense.
Residents and guests are to obey the parking regulations posted. No resident shall use or permit any family, guests or other persons to use parking spaces of other residents unless permission from such resident is procured in advance. Residents are not to use visitor, office or retail parking. If residents park in visitor, office or retail parking areas, they will be charged at the posted rates. Residents are never to loan parking access or AVI cards to other people.
All vehicles parked in reserved parking spaces must be highway drivable and currently and properly licensed. Current license plate numbers and vehicle descriptions must be registered with the Building Management office.
All vehicle doors and windows must be locked while unattended.
Failure to obey all laws, rules and management directives can result in warnings, fines, barreling and towing of the vehicle at the resident’s expense. All fines will be charged to the resident’s account. The resident shall not perform repairs to vehicles on the property or allow them to be performed by others on the property.
Where do my visitors park?
Visitors enter the parking structure through the ramp located on South Temple; proceed to level P2, and park in designated visitor parking areas. Vehicle access to the parking structure is not available after the posted closing hours of City Creek Parking. Visitors may find alternative after-hours parking in the Plaza Hotel Parking Terrace located at 122 West South Temple or on the street.
Visitors can contact residents through the entry access system at the P2 parking level. Pressing 9 on the resident’s telephone will grant access and open the parking lobby entrance into the building.
Visitors may also use the visitor elevator (Deseret Book Store) to exit the parking area and go to the front of the appropriate building for entry into City Creek Landing. Visitors then use the entry access system at the main lobby doors to contact the resident and gain entry into the building.
How much are visitor parking validations?
Residents can obtain parking validations for their visitors from Building Management. Residential visitor validations are different from those distributed to retail and office tenants and are not interchangeable.
Currently, one validation allows two hours of parking at a cost of $1.00 or five hours of parking at a cost of $2.00 (Building Management reserves the right to change the pricing of validations at any time it deems necessary in the future.) Parking validations are for the use of residential visitors only. Abuse of these validations may result in termination of the resident’s parking rights.
What about overnight visitor parking?
Residents can obtain “loaner” parking cards from Building Management for overnight or weekend guests. Building Management has a limited number of parking cards, which are available on a first-come first-served basis. These cards can be distributed to the guests for use while they are staying with the resident for an extended period of time. The fee for one night of use is $5.00 per parking card. It is important that residents return these parking cards to Building Management upon the departure of their guests. Building Management may charge a reasonable fee for any lost or unreturned parking cards.
Overnight or weekend guests should park in the designated residential parking stalls located on level P4 of the parking structure under City Creek Landing. If visitors park in any other area on P2, they will be charged at the normal rate for the City Creek Parking. Overnight parking is also available at Plaza Hotel Parking Terrace at a cost of $5.00 per night.
Where do I pick up my mail?
Mailboxes are located in the first floor lobbies of each of the City Creek Landing buildings. Regular U.S. Postal Service is delivered to these mailboxes. Packages too large to fit in a resident’s mailbox may be placed by the mail carrier in a parcel box in the lobby, and a key will be left in the mailbox with a note from the mail carrier notifying the resident of the delivery and the location of the parcel. Packages that are too large to fit in the parcel boxes will not be left in the mailbox area.
Private carriers, such as Federal Express and UPS will deliver packages by using the visitor access system to call the residence. If the resident is not home for the delivery, arrangements will need to be coordinated directly with the carrier.
Residents may sign a Package Release Form which allows Building Management to accept packages on residents’ behalf. Residents will then need to pick up their packages at the Building Management Office. Building Management and its employees cannot accept packages on residents’ behalf if they have not signed his release.
Packages may not be left in the lobby for the mail carrier to pick up.
How are newspapers delivered?
Building Management works with local newspaper carriers to facilitate delivery to residents’ doors. Newspapers can be ordered online at www.mediaoneutah.com or by calling MediaOne at 801-204-6100.
Newspaper and postal services should be stopped if the resident will be away for an extended time.
What are the elevator restrictions?
Use of elevators to move household items in or out should be coordinated with the building manager.
Elevators doors should not be propped open with any object. Elevator occupants are not to jump, force the doors, press more floor buttons than needed, or use the telephone unless there is an emergency.
During a fire alarm, the elevators are not to be used. Stairs should be used to exit the building.
Do we have shopping carts for unloading our cars?
Shopping carts have been provided and are located in the residential parking area. These carts are for the convenience of the residents in transferring groceries and other items from automobile to the apartments or storage units. No shopping carts, dollies, or other items provided for the resident’s convenience shall be left in the elevators or halls.
